"Most Ancient Race" Found

African San people - the world's most ancient race

The African San people have been found to be the most ancient race in the world in a huge genetic study.

The people, who have lived as hunter-gatherers for thousands of years, are the direct relations of early modern humans who migrated from the continent to spread their DNA throughout the world.
A study by the University of Pennsylvania has found all populations descended from just 14 ancient African populations.

Researchers discovered the genetic DNA of The San people was more diverse than any other group, suggesting they have survived longer than any other group.


Here's some racism:

"Given the fact that modern humans arose in Africa, they have had time to accumulate dramatic changes in their genes," said lead researcher.


Ugh.


I'd also like to bring to your attention some "camouflage" paintings:

Crazy you mention this cause Ive been thinking about Jumping. I'll assume you've been up on the 'jumping' talking that's been goin' on.

Started with Shaman's MJ 23 post. First thing that came to mind was "White men can't jump." Which refreshed a thought about or origins based on my unsupported assumptions. To boil it all down Black people are from another planet. Now I'm starting to think that WE(Cracker) are from another planet.

I think our genes are evolved to a different gravity. Maybe even the moon. Or some planet with lower gravity. Or maybe just maybe we lived in a mostly H2o Oxygen saturated world. I blabbed about it at Wise Woman's last ON AIR post. Anyhoo the proof is right in front of us.

I did see the MJ post, but didn't know "Jumping" (besides JumpGate) was a theme going around.

That's an interesting theory. I used to play around with something like that, but without the race stuff, besides white people coming from Mars.

I watched Trainspotting last night btw... Thought the ending sucked and had a crappy message but the rest of the movie was awesome.

Yeah Trainspotting was meant to tell it how is was. I appreciate the way it was filmed, the characters, and the shitty special effects.

Have you made it over to ...

I thought you commented but I can't find your words.

If not its a new project Jake rolled out.

The baby on the ceiling scene freaked me out more than I thought it would, despite how fake it looked.

I've been there, haven't commented yet. Ironically, I "twittered" about it so Jake probably knows I'm aware of it.
